PURPOSE: To describe the refitting of a soft lens wearer into a silicone hydrogel lens due to
neovascularization. This change, in turn, caused contact lens induced papillary conjunctivitis …

PURPOSE: To summarize the present status of safety and efficacy of contact lens wear.
DESIGN: Literature review. METHODS: Ovid Medline searches were performed on records …

Photocrosslinkable methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HA) was prepared and incorporated into
model conventional and silicone hydrogel contact lenses as an internal wetting agent. The …

Purpose: The aim of this work was to estimate the multifractal spectra of 3D surface
roughness for unworn hydrogel contact lenses (CL), obtained with atomic force microscopy …

Background: Contact lens–induced papillary conjunctivitis (CLPC) continues to be a major
cause of dropout during extended wear of contact lenses. This retrospective study explores …

Objective. To review the relationship between contact lens chemistry and the occurrence of
giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC). Design. A review of the literature. Results. GPC can …

Rigid lenses, which were originally made from glass (between 1888 and 1940) and later
from polymethyl methacrylate or silicone acrylate materials, are uncomfortable to wear and …

Purpose To investigate the efficiency of lysozyme and albumin removal from silicone
hydrogel and conventional contact lenses, using a polyhexamethylene biguanide …

Purpose To investigate the impact of lactoferrin and lipids on the kinetic denaturation of
lysozyme deposited on silicone and conventional hydrogel lenses, using a complex artificial …

Purpose. To identify risk factors for contact lens-related corneal inflammatory events and
mechanical events in wearers of silicone hydrogel lenses on a 30-night extended wear (EW) …
